CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS -- C2C: Two Spirit & Queer People of Colour Call to Conversation with LGBT & Allies

C2C: Two Spirit & Queer People of Colour Call to Conversation with LGBT & Allies

October 20-22, 2017 The University of Winnipeg

Call For PresentationsThis is a call to conversation. We are gathering scholars, community members, activists, artists, students, youth, and traditional knowledge holders to dialogue on the work being done in two-spirit (2S) and queer people of colour (QPOC) communities. We call on our communities and institutions to act in a spirit of reconciliation.

We invite 100-word proposals for 20-minute papers and artist talks and poster presentations on the following themes:

Origins, History, and Resurgence of 2S and QPOC

Reconciliation and Families (e.g., families of origin, children in care, chosen families)

Papers, artist talks, and poster presentations on other 2S, QPOC, and ally topics, and one-hour panel proposals are also welcome. All submissions should be accompanied by a 50-word autobiography. Presenters will be invited to submit their revised papers for inclusion in an edited collection following the conference.

Submissions are requested by July 31, 2017.

Inquiries and submissions may be directed to Conference Co-chairs Dr. Chantal Fiola and Dr. Sharanpal Ruprai (C2C@uwinnipeg.ca)Further information can be found at: www.uwinnipeg.ca/C2C
